Parallel Lines

Parallel Lines are lines that do not intersect at any point. Five ways to prove that lines are parallel are:
  1. Converse of Corresponding Angles Postulate: If two lines are cut by a transversal, meaning that the two corresponding angles are congruent.
  2. Converse of Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal, meaning that a pair of alternate interior angles are congruent.
  3. Converse of Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal, meaning that a pair of alternate exterior angles are congruent.
  4. Converse of Corresponding Same-side Interior Angles Theorem: If two lines are cut by a transversal, meaning that a pair of same-side interior angles are supplementary.
  5. Parallel Postulate
